My Lola and I

My Lola and Iis the story of Kiko, a five-year old boy who spends his summer vacation with his Lola (Filipino for grandmother) Beth, in a small village four hours south of Manila. An accident catapults them deep into the forest. What happens next changes him into a respectful, nature-loving boy.

This story had been brewing in my mind for a long while. The setting and characters were all plucked from memories of my childhood. I painted the book cover and illustrations which were a big challenge to do. In the end, my drawing style did not have to change to fit the story.
